Alchemy Goods is all kinds of good

Alchemy Goods has a simple mission: "Turning useless into useful." Hence the name. Alchemy is the process of transforming matter. It hit its peak of popularity in medieval times, the age, not the restaurant, when turning lead into gold was all the rage.

Alchemy Goods isn't as obsessed with gold as their forerunners, rather they strive to turn "something of lesser value into something of greater value." Sure, they're a business and like to rake in a bit of the green, but they're much more interested in producing it- green that is. The emphasis is on the ecological not the economical.

Alchemy Goods

(click thumbnails to view gallery)


It all started with a stolen messenger bag and a creative replacement made from bicycle inner tubes. From there other bags and accessories followed. All of the products are made with either used inner tubes donated by local Seattle bike shops and/or seat belts from junkyard cars. Have you ever used a seat belt for a bottle opener? Trust us when we say that it's a much better idea when the car isn't attached. These guys think of everything.

Check out Alchemy Goods, they're golden.
